I just got around to looking at the wiki for the new manual, and I think this is a place where I can finally give back to the project. Also it'll give me a chance to put that technical writing course I took to use ;) <div><br></div><div>So I'll go ahead and start on documenting the process for setting up an mcu control surface (osx and linux since I'll be setting up a linux box again soon too) when I have the time in the next couple weeks -- after I skim the references on the front page on the wiki. I imagine there aren't a lot of people who need to make these things work, making it a low priority as a bug.</div><div><br></div><div>Grant</div><div><br><div><div>On Sep 8, 2009, at 1:44 PM, Thomas Vecchione wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite">Well glad to hear it is working.

The build and install I believe sets it up correctly, but I will have to double check that sometime. I don't remember editing anything the last couple of times I did this anyways. Yes I am aware you need to edit it on Linux but the reason is that on Linux you ened to tell it to use the raw port, not the alsa-seq port which causes issues.<br> <br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Sep 8, 2009 at 1:48 AM, Glarbl_Blarbl <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:glarblblarbl@gmail.com" target="_blank">glarblblarbl@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> <br> The weird part is that even though it seems to recognize the control surface and map faders to mix channels, none of the faders move when I move them in the mix window (with or without feedback checked -- this works under linux) and I don't see any log activity when I move faders around on the mcu.
